‘Economics’ is an interesting and relatable subject since it can be seen and experienced in several instances that we come across in our everyday life.
During our lessons, we covered various engaging topics such as production, demand & supply as well as the elasticity of demand & supply. My favourite topic so far is ‘International Trade’ as in this topic we analysed the importance of promoting and consuming local products and the importance of tourism for the Maltese economy.
The latter helps to prevent having balance of payment problems which in the long term can adversely affect our economy. I have been learning Economics for the past two years and during these years I have really enjoyed the experience. I really enjoy it when we do group work, simulations and presentations.
I would recommend Economics to all students who are keen on learning about how an economy operates.
